Biological Formula

A mathematician once stated to me,
That H-2-O is water you see,
So in a sly whim
I barked back at him
Can you tell me what is K-NINE-P.

Lindsay, you're not only a masterful poetic story teller, but also an excellent limerick writer. Your limerick reminds me of a co-worker who asked his boss how to spell "pneumonia." His boss gave him the spelling and then said, "the p is silent, as in swimming."
